All throughout this study of the Tabernacle the word or name Immanuel has been in my mind. Isaiah said in 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." The name Immanuel means "God with us." Jesus said in Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." The word rest is "to set a tent over" or to Tabernacle. That was evident for the people in Moses' time when there was a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
In the end I thought of Chris Tomlin's song Jesus Messiah.
